Family outing in Bangalore: an indoor day at Palace Grounds

What a family of four pays

Kids are 80 cm to 140 cm tall. Anyone above 140 cm pays the adult rate. There is no age restriction for visiting. Book online for AQUA100 (₹100 off) or B2G1 (buy 2 get 1 free, a day ahead) on the tickets page.

What the family will see

• India's longest underwater tunnel, with fish swimming overhead.
• Freshwater and marine fish, including moray eels, alligator gar, tarpon and sun catfish.
• A jellyfish room with reflective walls, which younger kids tend to love.
• Indoor waterfalls, interactive zones and educational displays.
• Fish feeding by an expert diver every day at 6:30 PM.
• A complimentary mermaid show on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays at 1:00 PM, 3:00 PM, 5:00 PM and 7:40 PM. Timings can change, so confirm on the mermaid page or at the counter.

Note: Mermaid show timings keep changing. Always call +91 96063 11881 or check with the staff at the ticket counter before you come for the mermaid show.

A simple family plan

• Late morning: enter after 10:30 AM, walk the tunnel and the jellyfish room.
• 1:00 PM (show days): catch the first mermaid show.
• Lunch: outside food is not allowed inside the aquarium, so eat at the aquarium's ocean restaurant or step out.
• Afternoon: add Snow City next door, or spend the rest of the day at Fun World with the COMBO20 combo (20% off both).

Practical things for parents

• Bags and backpacks are not allowed and there is no storage. Infant food and water bottles are fine.
• The ground floor is wheelchair accessible, and free wheelchairs are available on request.
• Phone photos and videos are allowed.
• Paid parking is available on site at the complex.

Other indoor options in the city

The Visvesvaraya Industrial and Technological Museum and the Jawaharlal Nehru Planetarium are both good indoor stops for school-age kids. Check their current fees and show times before you go. For more, see indoor entertainment for families and a one-day family plan.
